NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The all-new 2025 Nissan Kicks has earned a J.D. Power Best-in-Class Residual Value Award, projected to hold the highest percentage of its Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) among micro SUVs over the first three years of ownership. In addition, the iconic 2025 Nissan Z performed among the top two models in the compact premium sporty car segment.

The J.D. Power U.S. ALG Residual Value Awards are the automotive industry standard in recognizing vehicle models projected to retain the highest percentage of their manufacturer's suggested retail price. This retention rate is crucial in determining the lease cost of a vehicle, highlighting an automaker's achievements in long-term quality, design, and the overall appeal of their brands and models.

'The Nissan Kicks underwent a well-executed redesign with improvements inside and out,' said Danny Battaglia, managing director of ALG customer success at J.D. Power.

'Highlights include more space, an upgraded infotainment system, and the addition of optional AWD. Nissan also kept price increases modest on lower, value-oriented trims.'

'The 2025 Kicks stands tall with expressive design, enhanced technology and confident driving dynamics,' said Vinay Shahani, senior vice president of U.S. marketing and sales, Nissan Americas. 'This important accolade highlights the value Kicks also provides to customers over the longer term, underscoring Nissan's commitment to an exceptional customer experience through the entire ownership period.'

The 2025 Nissan Kicks tackles city streets and beyond with a street-smart design inspired by sneakers, unexpected levels of available technology, a versatile, roomier interior and best-in-class standard ground clearance1. The new model also offers enhanced confidence behind the wheel with Kicks-first available Intelligent All-Wheel Drive2 and available ProPILOT Assist3.
